Fenghua Xikou-Jiang former residence

Fenghua Xikou ancient town has a typical Jiangnan style, and the mountains and rivers reveal the beauty and richness of Jiangnan water town. Chiang Kai-shek, an all-powerful figure in China's modern history, has become an important tourist attraction, and because Jiang Jia and Xikou are unique among many ancient towns, they add some mysterious colors to their beautiful temperament.

The name of Chiang Kai-shek's former residence scenic spot is Wulingmen. Wuling is a mountain name, which spans the town east. The name "Xikou" comes from Nanshan and Wulingtou, which are separated by Tunxi water. There used to be a small security hall here. Chiang Kai-shek's mother believed in Buddhism and often came here to recite scriptures and worship Buddha. 1930, Chiang Kai-shek converted it into three two-story five-pass gate towers, with the words "Wuling" inscribed by Yu Youren, a famous calligrapher and Kuomintang veteran, on the front and on the back.

When you enter Wuling Gate, you will find Xikou Town. There is a winding stream next to Lisanchang Street, with Wuling School on the right and Wenchang Pavilion on the left. The footpaths paved with bluestone slabs, simple and elegant gatehouses, buildings with white walls and tiles, and quiet and peaceful streets are like a paradise, just like the "Wuling" scene described in Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Garden.

1925 In the spring, Chiang Kai-shek followed his mother's wishes and chose a private residence, Fenghao Building, to establish a primary school for the school building. 1In July, 927, the school was renamed as "Private Wuling School", and a beach was selected at the west foot of Wushan as the new school site. The new school faces Wushan in the east, and the cliff is engraved with the four characters of "Wuling Yousheng" inscribed by Chiang Kai-shek. The new school covers an area of more than 90 mu, with more than 40 buildings including auditorium, teaching building, dormitory and gymnasium. 1929 In July, the school board was established in Nanjing, consisting of four people, namely, Jiang Jieqing (the brother of Chiang Kai-shek), Chen,, et al. 14, with Chiang Kai-shek as the principal. The school set up an agricultural experimental field at the eastern foot of Wushan, including 70 mu of paddy field, dry land 1 10 mu, and woodland 1 100 mu. The school has set up agronomy, forestry, animal husbandry, sericulture, plant protection and other sub-disciplines, which fully embodies the school-running concept of applying what you have learned and benefiting Morinda.

Wenchang Pavilion was founded in 173 1 year. Kuixing is also called "Kuixing" because it is enshrined in the pavilion. It is called "Kuige Lingxiao" and is one of the ten scenic spots in Xikou in Qing Dynasty. 1924 during the Qingming period, Chiang Kai-shek went back to his hometown to sweep the grave and saw ruins. He asked his younger brother Jiang Jieqing to call migrant workers to demolish and rebuild, which was completed the following year. The new exhibition hall is a two-story building with cornices. The first floor is the reception room, and the second floor is the bedroom and living room. Every time Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling went to Xikou, they often lived here.

"Small House" was built in 1930. It is a three-story and two-story western-style building, with the front facing Tunxi and the back facing Wushan, and the nearest Wenchang Pavilion. Upstairs is the bedroom in the east, the study in the west and the living room in the middle; Downstairs is the kitchen, dining room and concierge. Because of its compact structure, the cement used in building materials is also called "cement". 1937 In April, Jiang Jingguo returned from studying in the Soviet Union, and Chiang Kai-shek arranged for him to stay here. In the small house, Chiang Kai-shek's foreign military adviser Duan Nan, director Chen Bulei and other attendants lived. On the first floor of the villa, there is a stone tablet of "blood out", which was written in four big characters after Mao was killed and came back from Jiangxi to attend the funeral, expressing his firm determination to avenge his mother.

Jiang's Ancestral Hall is a place where Jiang's clan activities in Xikou are held, and it is also a place for ancestor worship, celebrations, weddings and funerals. It is dedicated to the ancestor of the Jiang family since the ancestor Jiang Shijie moved to Xikou at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and the family history of more than 600 years has been concentrated here. On the archway at the entrance of the ancestral hall, the word "loyalty and filial piety" was written by Chiang Kai-shek himself. The ancestral temple was built by Chiang Kai-shek in 1930. Later, it was the old ancestral temple rebuilt in the fifty-fifth year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty. The stage is connected to the central gate, where Chiang Kai-shek once worshipped his ancestors, entertained the people, read genealogy and watched performances. The funerals of Chiang Kai-shek's brothers Chiang Kai-shek and Mao were also held here.

Jiang's former residence is a complex, including former residence, small houses and Yutai Salt Shop. In the past, Xikou had a traditional custom of naming ancestral houses, striving for simplicity. Chiang Kai-shek's father has three brothers. Their ancestral houses are called Xiafang, Fangshang and Zhou Fang. The third destination of Jiang's father's trip is called. The year after Chiang Kai-shek's father died, the Chiang Kai-shek brothers separated, and the elders talked about it one after another, asking the brothers to establish their own names. From the previous generation of "Zhou Fang" and Chiang Kai-shek's genealogy "Zhou Zidai" (spectrum named "Zhou Tai") to Fengyi and Haojing, two imperial cities in the Western Zhou Dynasty, each with its initials as the name of the house, which was given to Chiang Kai-shek's ancestral home, so it was named "Gao Feng House". Feng, representing one room of Chiang Kai-shek; Pick, on behalf of his dead brother Jiang Ruiqing one room. Ruiqing died early and was inherited by Chiang Kai-shek, so it was collectively called Gao Feng House.

Fenghaofang Street faces the stream, which is a simple and solemn big house with traditional front hall and back hall, two compartments and four halls. The purlin is the spiritual position of the Chiang family. Chiang Kai-shek's ancestors were salt merchants. It can be seen from the carving and arrangement of the houses that the Chiang family was a wealthy family at that time, and the house was covered with photos of the ancestors of the Chiang family. The East Wing is a western-style display upstairs, which is Song Meiling's bedroom. It is said that the Song family has never lived here for a day. The west wing upstairs is the original bedroom of Chiang Kai-shek and Mao. After Mao divorced Jiang, he still lived in Jiang's house as a righteous sister. There are three small gardens in and around the front hall. There are couplets written by Chiang Kai-shek, such as "filial piety to parents is a moral thoroughfare" and "I hope you will be filial to your children and grandchildren", and a plaque inscribed by Chiang Kai-shek for Jiang Jingguo on his 40th birthday.

There are two entrances before and after Yutai Salt Shop, three rooms and one lane in front and a bungalow in the back. It was opened by Chiang Kai-shek's grandfather Jiang Yu 187 1 and inherited by Chiang Kai-shek's father Jiang. 1887 lunar September 15 Chiang Kai-shek was born in Yutai Salt Shop. After Chiang's father died, the brothers separated, and the salt shop was owned and operated by Chiang Kai-shek's eldest son, Jiang Jieqing. 19 19, Jiang Jieqing went out to look for a job, and the salt shop closed.

After Chiang Kai-shek was born, the salt shop caught fire twice and termites eroded it once. The existing building was rebuilt by Chiang Kai-shek on 1948. The gate is a stone frame with the word "Lu Qing" engraved on its forehead. On the boundary wall on the west side of the gate, there are six Chinese characters inscribed by Chiang Kai-shek, namely "the original site of Yutai Salt Shop", in which the counters and salt barrels are set as they are. Various historical pictures and photos reflecting Chiang Kai-shek's life are hung on the wall.

Over the past hundred years, despite the war and political turmoil, Fenghua Xikou Castle Peak remains the same, and the green water flows forever. Before the People's Liberation Army invaded Fenghua, Mao Zedong instructed Su Yu in the name of the Central Military Commission to "warn the troops not to destroy Chiang Kai-shek's residence, ancestral temple and other buildings". During the Cultural Revolution, Zhou Enlai personally ordered the Zhejiang Provincial Committee to strictly protect Jiang's former residence. Time has passed, and now Xikou, as the former residence of Chiang Kai-shek, has become a famous tourist town in Ningbo, Zhejiang and even the whole country.
